Who makes 60 poly/40 cotton any more ?

Needs information on what the "permanent press" cycle on automatic clothes dryers does.

- Definitely - .. that's what I came here looking for, and no luck. Anyone know?

Disputed

I do not have enough information to add but I'm quite certain Herman Goldstein invented permanent press for DuPont.. even if source material may not bear this out I know he was instrumental and deserves mention in this article. The information about treatment with Methanol may be false. Usually permanent press treatments are much more complicated than that and involve formaldehyde, one of the derivatives of methanol, but also other chemicals. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lbreyer (talk • contribs) 16:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I was looking into Nano-Tex and read a lot on permanent press in general. The comment about methanol is indeed correct, so I updated the page. I guess I'll take away the "Disputed" signifier in a few weeks, if I get a round tuit and if I don't see any objections. I took out the part about Haggar being the first to sell permanent press slacks; this did not appear to be correct as I could find no information on it and the provided link was no help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mschwage (talk • contribs) 20:07, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge with Wrinkle-resistant fabric

Self-explanatory. ∯WBG^converse 04:50, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK with me, but please indicate which way the merge will go. --Smokefoot (talk) 12:59, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that either target would be reasonable, but given that Wrinkle-resistant fabric has the advantage of being more readily understood by the naive, I've merged there.

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 05:59, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
